LIVING CRAFTS wool silk men's short-sleeved shirt PETROL

Some shirts feel familiar immediately, as if your body says: yes, this is exactly right – this wool silk shirt from Living Crafts is one of those.

Why this wool silk shirt is here to stay

This short-sleeved men's shirt is made from 70% organic merino wool and 30% silk. A combination that we at Natur-el are huge fans of. Wool regulates your temperature, breathes, and prevents odors. Silk makes the shirt extra soft and smooth. The result is a shirt that is warm when it is cold, airy when it gets warmer, and most importantly: it doesn't itch.

You wear this shirt directly on the skin, as an underlayer, or simply as a regular t-shirt. Many men wear it all year round, not just in winter.

Fit and wearing occasions

Living Crafts is known for their fine fit and beautiful length. This shirt also features a nice long cut, which keeps it well tucked into your pants and keeps your lower back warm. The fit is slim, as wool is intended to be. Wool works best when it is close to your skin, as that allows it to do its temperature-regulating work optimally.

The shirt fits true to size, so feel free to choose the size you normally wear.

Good to know: this wool silk shirt is also available as a long-sleeve and as a long john. Ideal if you want to wear multiple layers of the same comfortable wool.

You hardly need to wash wool

Wool is naturally self-cleaning. This means that you usually don't have to wash this shirt. Just letting it air out after wearing is often enough. Hang the shirt in the bathroom overnight or outside, and it will be fresh again.

The lanolin in the wool plays an important role in this. If the wool gets a little damp, it actually activates the self-cleaning effect. It is therefore quite normal not to wash wool silk underwear for months, as long as you air it out well.

Need to wash it anyway? Here’s how to keep your shirt looking good

If the shirt does need to be washed, always use a wool detergent with lanolin, such as Lanalicious. This nourishes the wool and keeps the fiber soft and resilient.

Wash on a wool cycle, use a little detergent, do not overload the machine, and take the shirt out of the washing machine immediately to prevent streaks. After washing, gently pull the shirt into shape lengthways and let it dry flat.
